5 Reasons Democrats Are Full Of It When They Say The Paycheck Fairness Act Will Help Women

If you judged the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that is being voted on in the Senate on Tuesday, based upon its name alone, you would assume that it is a good thing. And that’s precisely why the bill’s Democrat creators named it as such – so that they can present it as a law that will help women in the workplace.

The problem is that it doesn’t actually help women at all. In many cases, it actually hurts women by placing costly regulations on businesses that may lower the number of workers they can afford to employ:

#1 – It attempts to outlaw something that is already illegal.“Gender-based wage discrimination has been illegal since the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If a woman is truly the victim of wage discrimination, she already has the ability to sue.”

#2 – It ignores the complex reasons that women earn less than men. “It would certainly be wrong to suggest that workplace discrimination is entirely extinct, but the PFA presumes the opposite – that men’s earnings outperform women’s solely because of discrimination and that more lawsuits are the fix. Reality is more complex. The attitude behind the Paycheck Fairness Act completely ignores that women and men may have different preferences and priorities when it comes to pay and jobs.”
